ter endorsing the opinion of Hon. William
McDougall in regard to the construction
to be placed upon that part of the treaty
of 1918, covering the rights of American
fishermen in Canadian ports. Whitcher
says such thing as preventing the people

the American fishermen from fishing for
bait with seines or otherwise within the

THE GAME wARDEN's MUIR oERER.
Fled from Maine to California where he
was Captured.

BANGOR, Me-, March 31.-A special from
Oakland, Cal, to the Commercial says
Graves is now reposing here in Jail very
quietly and sees few outside persons He
is, however, free to talk with his visitors
and takes matters very coolly. When
Graves came to California in the early
part of the winter he went to Los Angeles
and then very naturally left for Anaheim.
The Planters hotel is in that town and
Graves found work there where he acted
as porter and general man of all work
This is IL cheap house and very little
patronized and so quiet that Graves
thought it would be "A very safe hiding
place There is no doubt but that it would
have been, but he was not contented to
stay there He made frequent visits to
Oakland, 800 miles away, thinking it would
be the right place to mail and receive let
ters, as he was located 50 many miles from
there. On March he came here and
walked into the Eureka hotel, stepped up
to the register and slowly traced the name
of John Il. Smith
The police had been informed by Johnny
Fairbanks of Oakland that Smith or
Graves would be likely to call at the post
Office for letters SO for three weeks they
haunted the government building Flua-
week he stepped INTO the office and in
qured for letters for John T. Smith. As
soon rs they were delivered to him he was
arrested and lodged in Jail. Then the
officers went to the hotel and found his
vtllse 1t contained letters to him which
established his identity, beyond question
and also contained a copy of the Portland
Argus containing report of the trial
of Mcfarland. THIS had been mailed
to him from Portland and it indicated
that it had been carefully read. He con
tesses the homicide and in telling the
story Of the affair constantly asserts that
the whole act was committed in self de
fence.
A reporter who visited Graves's home
said that at the request of her father, Mrs.
Graves read aloud the despatch from Oak
land, to the effect that her husband adj
mitted that he was the man wanted, and
as she did so manifested no more appar
ent feeling than she would have done had
it related to some common business mat
ter of the family. She said it was poor
place to come to for news, as she had
nothing to tell, and that she had had no
idea as to the whereabouts of her hus
band since the murder, and she should as
soon have expected to hear that he
had been found in Maine rs
in California Mr. Tracy, Mrs. Graves's
father, said that he had asked her many
times Immediately after the murder and
since ii she had received any news from
Graves and she always said she had not.
On the day of the reporters visit he said
he had been pumping" her hard, but she
declared that she knew nothing about 1t,
had heard nothing from her husband and
had no knowledge of his being in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Tracy said he believed that
his daughter told the truth and that he
had always known her as Il truthful girl
and truthful woman. Others who have
always known Mrs. Graves give similar
tpstimOpy

New YORK, April 1.-The Tam O'Shan-
